Idk man I think if you give guys a pension they just keep fighting while getting their pension lol.

I've spoke on this numerous times cuz I'm a fan of the concept, but I'd like to see a tier system like most other pro sports have.

Boxing is an individual sport so it'd need to be a lil different, but if you've ever looked at the Sumo ranking system that covers the up & coming guys all the way to the best guys I think that'd work perfectly in boxing.

And that way you'd have an A league, a B League, a C league & so on & so forth. Then, not unlike in Sumo, when a once great fighter starts losing ground & even slipping to a lower tier they tend to retire out of respect to the sport or for pride.

Good point, then they'd have to be retired for at least 5 years, like getting into the boxing hall of fame and if they make a comeback, they go without the pension for maybe a year.
